In this volume distinguished scholars from different social science disciplines assess the emerging international order. The volume's three sections examine theories and strategies of order; the prospects of the major likely contenders for world leadership (the United States, Russia, China, the European Union, Japan and India); and the challenges to world order, including globalization, nationalism, ethnic and religious conflict, environmental degradation, and the spread of weapons of mass destruction. This book thus offers a comprehensive account of the prospects for a peaceful and just international order in the next century.

Comprehensive study of international order, covering theory, strategy, the major powers, and the key challenges

Interdisciplinary, including IR scholars, sociologists, and area studies specialists, with star contributors from a number of countries
